@The people that are guessing what SE might mean: I'm not going to give you the answer yet so guess further :rofl:

@tsupersonic: Because it's it's not as dark as you hoped? Honestly, if I'd make it darker it would just be a black version that has been washed more often then Washed Black.

There's no way to make the text black? On the default Luna skin (silver one), the clock is in black text...

It all has to do with your settings tsupersonic. I tried the black text in a beta last year and it didn't look nice at all. I'm sorry that you can't use Silver. The white text fits a lot more.

I'm sorry that not everyone can use this theme because of this issue. But I'm not going to make another Silver version which is darker or which has black text.

Well I would change the settings if I could, but on a laptop, I'm limited to brightness. I changed the brightness to a lower level, doesn't help... Looks so good, but if I can't read the damn clock, then I'm not going to use the skin.

Thanks anyway.

^You can always use one of the other skins. If you are desperate and you REALLY want to use it then you can ask someone if he/she can mod the white fonts to a black font.

@jesse: Several people tried to make a port but it had bugs. No idea if someone's making a serious port atm.

tsupersonic, couldn't you try using LClock and customizing it so you can clearly see the clock's text? It's an awesome addon, anyway. I suggest you try it.

Woo, and Silver looks good. Thanks, again. But Blue SE has made me curious :)

Thanks, I know about Lclock and other clock utilities like Atomic alarm clock.

I'll go try silver on an LCD I have lying around. Unfortunately all the computers I have in my home are all laptops.

@capricorn, you give me permission to change the white fonts to a black one?

It's been a long time since I messed with creating visual styles. :D

@The people that are guessing what SE might mean: I'm not going to give you the answer yet so guess further :rofl:

Is it Smelly Edition? For people with scratch and sniff-capable LCD's? Make it smell like blueberries if you can. :laugh:

It's not something typical like Second Edition of Special Edition, is it?

Or does it link back to anything in the original watercolor at all?

@capricorn, you give me permission to change the white fonts to a black one?

You can change it all you want; you just can't release it.

@Capric0rn:

>>Because it's it's not as dark as you hoped? Honestly, if I'd make it darker it would just be a black version that has been washed more often then Washed Black.

I can agree with that...It will be another Washed Black version, not silver :p

And do you have any idea of making a version of warm colours, such as red or orange, when the Olive and Blue SE are done?

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
